Open Ended Art - Black and White

I love teaching Bear art techniques and then letting her use those techniques any way she wants.

In the past year I have shown her how to use various tools for painting.

With this art project using black tempera on white paper,
I decided to showcase some of the tools I have introduced to her.

I gave her a large piece of white construction paper
and put out the following tools:

snail sponge
fork
water bottle lid
some sponges cut in various shapes
an old toothbrush
a cotton swab
a paint roller

She was really only interested in the fish sponge and used the other things sparingly or not at all.

    This was a great idea - I love letting M paint with unusual things and should do it more often! The fish really do look good! :)

    I like it - the contrast is so neat. I should let Anna paint with black more often too.
